    Default Correct to fold?

    I love playing these draws aggressively (indirect result from reading SS!?), but can't do much here, right? I don't think I have the implied odds...

    You're about 50/50 to win the hand, so its up to you if you want to risk about $50 on a coinflip by going allin on the flop. Alternatively, you could just call and then move AI on the turn regardless of what it is. Folding on the flop isn't bad either. I think there are a lot of "correct" ways to play a hand like this. Just depends on what your style is.
